Whether you’re grinding the Ranked ladder or just want to track your performance in League of Legends, checking your in-game stats is a critical part of improving as a player. From kill-death ratios to champion win rates and warding efficiency, League offers a treasure trove of data—if you know where to look.
In this article, we explore the best ways to check your League of Legends stats, both in the official client and through trusted third-party tools. Whether you’re a casual player or an aspiring pro, here’s how to get a deeper understanding of your gameplay.
Riot’s Official Stats Tools
1. The League Client (Profile Tab)
The most direct way to check your stats is through the League of Legends client itself.
- Go to Profile > Overview to see your ranked performance, current tier, and recent match history.
- The Match History tab shows detailed stats from each game, including KDA, CS per minute, kill participation, and vision score.
- The Champions tab lets you see your win rates and average grades for each champion, along with how many mastery points you’ve earned.
While useful, the client’s stats are limited to recent games and broad metrics.
How to Use Riot’s API Yourself
For developers or data enthusiasts, Riot’s Developer Portal (https://developer.riotgames.com) offers access to the official API. With it, you can:
- Build custom tools
- Track specific match data
- Aggregate player trends
Note that access to the API requires a key and some familiarity with coding.
What Stats Should You Focus On?
For most players, the following metrics offer the clearest insights:
- KDA (Kill/Death/Assist Ratio): Shows how safe and effective your gameplay is.
- CS per Minute (Creep Score): Critical for farming efficiency and gold income.
- Kill Participation: Reflects how involved you are in your team’s success.
- Vision Score: A strong indicator of map awareness and control.
- Damage Dealt vs. Damage Taken: Useful for understanding your role impact.
Why Checking Stats Matters
Tracking your stats helps you:
- Identify strengths and weaknesses
- Understand champion performance trends
- Set improvement goals
- Avoid common mistakes
- Stay motivated through progress
League of Legends (LoL) is as much a game of data as it is of mechanics. Stats offer a mirror to your playstyle—and sometimes, it’s exactly what you need to reach the next rank.
